Flower Shop Long Card in a Box (with template)

Today I'm sharing my last card in a box project for now - a long rectangle version full of my fave Flowers Shop & Petite Petals flowers. This was my second project from my February class. I designed this size to fit a standard C6 envelope (& also fits a US sized envie too). I've shared my template for this shaped box at the bottom of this post too so you can try it yourself.

I'm not usually a huge yellow girl, but I loved how the calypso coral & pool party flowers looked with the so saffron DSP. Here's a closer look at the flowers (btw. the yellow flower is actually stamped in daffodil delight).

& one more from the top, so you can see the inserts.

When the card is folded flat for posting, it measures 14cm x 10.5cm (5-1/2 x 4-1/8inches).

The panels under the flaps are crisp cantaloupe stamps with a small Petite Petals outline flower. I kept the back panel pretty simple

I added a crisp cantaloupe & white panel, which had the added benefit of strengthening the whisper white base too.

Check out Monica Gale's fab video tutorial for visual instructions on how to make a general card in a box. Follow the same principles - just substitute my cutting & scoring measurements.

Prefer inches?

The project dimensions were created in cm's, so they don't translate to inches as neatly as I'd like. The converted dimensions are as follows. I will post a neater solution if I have time to think!Finished Size when flat: 5-1/2 x 4-5/8 inches. Front & back panels are approx 4-7/8in wide, Side panels are 1-1/8inch wide.

You can also check out this Splitcoaststampers card in a box tutorial for a general card in a box tutorial in inches too. Follow the same principles - just substitute my cutting & scoring measurements.
I hope you have a go at making a long card in a box with my measurements. I think the longer length gives great opportunities to create a bigger scene. If you have any questions, just ask & don't forget to coment & pin if you like the project. Thanks for visiting & pop back soon.
Inky wishes, Di

Only just found your blog and love the shape/size of this card in a box - wonderful. Have made others but this lends itself to lots of other decorating ideas. Thank you so much for sharing and for giving the dimensions. I'm looking forward to looking around your blog.

Hi Di - thanks for sharing this version of the card in a box. I used it for my card class and have blogged it today. I have also given you the credit for it :) Here's my blogpost http://yellowbearnz.blogspot.co.nz/2015/01/happy-anniversary.htmlMy card ladies loved it.Many thanks.

Hi Di, I just wanted to say thank you for your post on your Rectangle Card in a Box. With those really easy to follow instructions for the measurements, I was able to make up one for a class I held last night. Inspired by that,I also made one, sized to fit the Mini Treat Bag. :-)
